Yellow Dragon is an enemy fought at the Sealed Cave as well as on the overworld south the Sylph Cave. It is a relatively dangerous enemy when first encountered, having decently powerful physical attacks and access to the Lightning ability. It is extremely rare to find, however, and drops rare items including the Blue Fang, Siren, and Silver Apple, while in the 3D remakes, it will also drop the Yellow Tail as its rarest drop.

Yellow Dragon appears as an enemy at the Barrier Tower, then later at Castle Exdeath. When encountered at Barrier Tower, it will always appear alone but when fought at Castle Exdeath, it will appear in pairs. They are relatively dangerous foes as they can damage the entire party with the Lightning ability, as well as hit one party member hard with a strong physical attack. However, they can be easily dealt with by using Control. They are invaluable for their rare drop, the Coral Ring, and Thunder Rods can be stolen from them.

Gold Dragon is a boss fought at Kefka's Tower, then later at the Dragons' Den in the Game Boy Advance and later releases. In the first battle, it primarily attacks with various Lightning-elemental spells and can cast Reflect on itself, while at the Dragons' Den, it is much more dangerous as it uses Plasma, Wave Cannon, and its special Mighty Claw that ignores immunity to Confuse. In addition, it nullifies all magic attacks due to it having innate Runic status.

One of the common forms of adult dragons, Yellow dragons possess yellow scales with dark green stripes. Aspected to lightning, yellow dragons very breath is electrified, and are able emit thunder magic with Plasma Release.
